Your honest opinion

[patriotaki]

Hello everyone i need your honest opinion on choosing between 1060 and 1070

 

i saved 700EUR by selling other stuff and i want to upgrade my GPU but idk what is the best way to go

 

i can get a used 1070 G1 for 410EUR

and a new 1060 ROG Strix fir 350EUR

i could also find a used 1060 for 300EUR

 

what is the best way to go?

im gaming on 1080p monitor and im a university student i have to study alot and gaming is not my priority but i play quite often 

i play gta v, csgo ,lol , battlefield 

 

what is the best way to go ? How should i spend my money

[The Sloth]

i would go for a 1070 its much better buy than a 1060 or get a 4xr80. 

[DrMacintosh]

between the 1060 and the 1070 I would get the RX 480 8GB. Its right in the middle. Slightly better than the 1060 for way less than the 1070. 

[Evanair]

If you get a 1060, make sure it's the 6GB version as 3GB is a slower processor.  I game at 2560x1080 (so a little higher than HD) and 1060 lags behind in SOME games below 60fps on ultra settings.

Honestly, I'd wait to buy one right now.  With the 1080 ti making a major dent in the upper marketplace and the 1080 dropping in price, I wouldn't be surprised it the rest of the market of the 1070/1060 get a price cut soon.

[Techicolors]

a 1070. a significant performance bump from 1060/480 to a 1070. but i would look around for a 480, since it's a sweet spot for 1080p 

 

but personally i don't think getting a GPU may be a good thing if you're studying a lot. it's all in moderation, tho 

[Princess Luna]

The 1070 if this "used" is reliable.

[Sack]

I'll vote for the 1070 as well, as it's a huge improvement over the 1060.

[Damascus]

1070

[Shiv78]

Neither, get an R9 Fury if your PSU can handle it or get an RX480 8GB

[patriotaki]

Guys you missing the point.. i know the 1070 is better but i dont know how to spent my money..

 

should i spent 400EUR on a 1070? 400EUR is a lot.. i mean i am a student is it right if i make this kind of choice? I will not playing games all day if i get a new gpu thats for sure i dont have that issue 

 

as a student should i try to give the lowest $ possible 

i dont know how to think? What questions should i ask my self?

then get a 1060 or 480, preferably a 480. at 1080p either of these cards are good at that resolution (make sure to get the 8gb versions).

whats your current GPU?

[patriotaki]

What about future proof tho? 

Is 480 8gb better than 1060 6gb?

 

50$ more for a 1070 is not bad at all thats why im considering the 1070 now few days ago i wanted the 1060 6gb but the price goes up and up 

 

i dont know what to do lol

Get an RX480 strix, you'll get equal performance to a 1060 and you get a warranty. Save your money.
